Today’s Thought “Worth Waiting For…” G. Ward

Isaiah 43

¹⁸ “Do not call to mind the former things, Or consider things of the past. ¹⁹ Behold, I am going to do something new, now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert.

 

While many of our era have sought using these passages as something to perceive selfishly, that bolsters their economic success; this was our LORD through HIS prophet - insistent that Israel (HIS people) celebrate all HE’D rescue their predecessors from (and yes it was many miraculous presentations of HIS might), while absolutely anticipating a future where the government would be upon the shoulders of the Blessed Redeemer (*Isa.9:6) and not exilic leaders, so unruly with terrorism, or unrighteous kings so foolishly imposing lack of peace.

Believers for this era should also rejoice. Our Redeemer’s work enables our view in how HE is building us (daily) unto a future hope with HIM (*cf. 1 Cor.6:2-3) and while we wait, HIS presence won’t forsake us. “A Mighty Fortress is our God!”
